We're off!


We have made it past the first hurdle. We are at the gate. Check in and security were not a problem. No one from the group had to be screened. John Tassos brought 15 duffel bags of bedding and other supplies that have been collected for Armonia from other churches and organizations. He pulled up to the airport with Tom's pickup piled high with the bags. Even with all that we are able to get through check-in without a hitch. It just took a long time.

The group was split up between two flights. The first group, the Seligsons and Whiteds, traveled this morning. There were to fly from Orlando to Cancun, Cancun to Mexico City and Mexico City to Oaxaca. However they missed the flight to Mexico City. So instead of getting to Oaxaca at 3 this afternoon, they are spending the day in Cancun. One advantage, we will all arrive at Oaxaca within 30 minutes of each other. If all the flights are on time.

As we sit here, resting the kids are off exploring the airport. The terminal has an Outback in it so they were talking about having a blooming onion to start off the trip.

Keep us in your prayers. More when we reach Oaxaca.
